B 26-0627 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Frequency Standardization for Contributions in Support of District Government Employee Benefits Amendment Act of 2026

This bill changes how the District of Columbia makes payments into three employee benefit funds, moving from annual or quarterly schedules to monthly or per-pay-period contributions. It directly affects the District government's financial management and the administration of retirement and insurance benefits for city employees. The key changes require contributions to health and life insurance funds to be made on a regular pay period basis, defined contribution plans to be funded per pay period, and police, fire, and teacher retirement funds to be deposited on the 15th and last day of each month. These adjustments allow the District to spread payments more evenly throughout the year rather than making larger lump sums at specific times.
